Congratulations!

Have been following Lazarus & FPC for many years, and I mist admit: I'm really impressed even after all this time!

Went right ahead and updated to 1.0 and even installed for the first time on a Mac.

And as someone using Pascal for his daily work for 20 years now, I think I'm at the point where I can say that Lazarus is the best Pascal IDE (and FPC the best compiler) available!

[Hippy]

Good work everyone!

This is awesome ! Great news !
There must be some kind of quantum connection here.
Yesterday my Thunderbird was screaming for an update which i did today and found out that it has a built-in IRC client so i connected to the IRC (after many years of absence from the Lazarus/FPC community) to find out that Lazarus has finally reached 1.0 !
I almost gave up on Object Pascal, thinking about jumping ship to Node.js/HTML5/WebGL and that kind of stuff, because i work as a Delphi dev for many years now and every company (even the one i work for) seems to migrate towards .NET, AIR, Java or ObjC these days for desktop/mobile programming.

I must resurrect  my old Lazarus projects and check out this great release.

Over 10 years to go from inception to v1.0....that's the difference between a proper product and one that is made for money. The refinement of Lazarus to this level is testiment to the hard work of all the developers and bug fixers and bug contributors.

Lazarus Rocks.
People submit this news to every tech news site you know, spread the word
about Lazarus and how great it is.

Barring a few third party delphi only components, I can use Lazarus for almost all my development needs now.

Once component I would love to see officially ported to Lazarus is /http://www.trichview.com/, there is a very old port of just the viewer component, but it would be so nice to have the Trichviewedit component as well for Lazarus.
